Coverage Amounts for Seattle Auto Insurance

By Steve Turner

Your Seattle Auto Insurance policy is one of the major purchases you will make as a driver. It can be difficult to know how much coverage you need for your situation. There is a fine balance between having enough coverage and having too much.

You will be required to have full coverage auto insurance if you are making payments towards your vehicle still. This includes the addition of collision and comprehensive coverage to the minimal limits required by law. This extra coverage is to protect the financer from financial loss if you are in an accident.

You can receive benefits from having full coverage as well. If your car is already paid off but is still worth a considerable amount of money, full coverage will give you more protection for your financial investment.

If your car is not worth very much money then the increase to your premium for having full coverage may not be worth it. You will realize savings though by increasing your deductible to as high as you can afford.

Talk with your insurance agent about not having collision coverage if your car is old or inexpensive. Keep your comprehensive coverage though because it will give you protection against damages caused by fire, theft or window breaks.

Of course it is your decision how much and what types of insurance coverage you chose to purchase. You need to make sure that you have enough coverage to give yourself the peace of mind you deserve.

An insurance agent will be able to help you make the best informed decision about what types of coverage best fit your situation. Talk with one if you have any questions or concerns about your policy.
